Application med August 27, 1910. Serial No. 579,340.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK A. PRICE, citizen of the United States, residing at Elgin, in the county of Kane and State of have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Forming Cloth with a Simulated Metallic Surface, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

is lnvention relates to fabrics provided with a coatin and has special reference to cloth provide with a ded or simulated metallic surface which is flexible and capatble of being. rolled up.

and nonpareil Referring to the accompanying drawing:Figure 1 is a perspective view of a piece of cloth constructed in accordance'with this invention. Fig. 2 is a view in cross section thereof' In carrying out the invention, canvas raw from the loom is employed. The cloth is prepared in any manner to make it elastic and liable so as to stand rolling it. up on a ro er.

A mixture of fine flour aste, white Inc, and white bar soap is app ied to. the c oth. This is dried; the time required therefor being about twenty-four hours. The cloth so dried is then coated with pure linseed oil diluted with spirits of tur entine. This is then dried, whlch requires a out 2 or 3 days. The cloth is then given a coating of fat oil japan mixed together. This dries until it becomes tacky which takes about 24 hours. Mixed aluminumor other bronze powder-and Ultramarine blue powder dried is then rubbed on the cloth. The result of this treatment is a cloth with a gilded surface which is flexible and capable curtain -white bar soap; then In the accompanying drawings is. shown Speciflcation of Letters Patent. Patented June 13, 1911.

mg a coating 2 with a gilded surface 3.

The gilded surface 3 is preferably formed with a mottled surface and also has the appearance of a metallic surface. Owing to the treatment hereinbefore described this metallic surface will not crack when the fabric in t e shape of a curtain is wound up on a curtain roller.

Having described the invention, I claim: k

1'. The method of forming a fabric here inbefore described canvas (raw from the loom) so as to make it elastic and pliable and then applying a mixture of fine flour 'aste, white glue, and ying the cloth; then coating it with pure linseed oil diluted with spirits of'turpentine; then dryin the cloth; then coatin it with fat oil an japan mixe together; then until it becomes tacky; and then rubbing on a mixture of aluminum and ultramarine' blue.

2.- The method of makinggilded cloth as.

hereinbefore described consists in making raw canvas elastic and pliable; applying a mixture of fine flour paste, white g ue, with pure linseed oil dilut with spirits o turpentine; then drying; then coat' it with fat oil and nonpareil japan mlxed together; thenfdrying; and then rubbing it with a mixture of aluminum and ultramarine blue.
